I installed this image on a USB disk and, after confirming that it worked by booting from it, I copied the necessary partitions on the AppleTV internal disk. After changing the com.apple.boot.plist pointer to /dev/sda5 (I think this was my Linux boot partition), it started working fine.
Overall this is superimpressive, lots of memory to spare, good video performance etc. Thanks for this image and your hard work on this!
But I have a few questions for y'all:
- changing video output to 1280x720 @ 60Hz my Panasonic 42G10 goes blank, even ssh connection to ATV is frozen, after I wait a while XBMC is reset and the output setting is reset to 50Hz. So I cannot set the output to 60Hz, which is a bummer.
I know 60Hz output works because at first the change worked flawlessly (of course video out was buttery smooth compared to 50Hz) but then XBMC crashed.
edit: Okay it seems like the refresh rate change actually works but it just takes some time before the change happens. Screen goes black for a good 30 seconds until it comes back with the correct 60Hz refresh. I have no idea what it causing this.
btw, automatic change to 24Hz works like it should, which is the main thing I guess ;-)
- How do I set global resolution to 720p so that Ubuntu desktop also run at that all the time?
Also, xrandr gives this output http://pastebin.com/ntTZhuis
